Well, friends. I’m happy to tell you that my quest to rediscover Chicago Hardcore has taken a wonderfully unexpected illustrated turn. And what I’ve found for you is so hardcore, comical and graphic that I can’t tell you with just words.

For your pre-viewing pleasure I’ve included below two digital pages from the printed book version that the band gave me.
